Gibraltar no like Lynn. Taking her toys and going to play in another sandbox. 😀
Keep the tent flaps tied up!

Hippo has strict orders to keep Gibraltar away from the tent. Gave him (her?) the atomic pork chop launcher just in case. 😉

Does anyone else around here feel like a rocket scientist?[/u]

I used to play with model rockets. Does that count?

You know, the first time I played with a computer was in 1966 (it was the Ferranti-Packard Orion II at RHEL) and by the middle of 1970 I had written (amongst rather a lot of other things) software to test varios sorts of disc hardware (including those enormous dual 30MB 10-platter cartridge drives, with which a rapid head-throw test produced physically spectacular results if they were standing on a suspended floor); and I carried on working with machines that all sorts of weird disc and drum drives ever since; but I've never come across an 8 inch floppy. Which machines had those? Were they something released only in the USA?

Ok, here's the stuff I've been faced with the very first time:

Robotron A5120 (Made in GDR)

Weight : 38 kg

classification : 8-bit CP/M System

market year : 1982

main processor : UA880D (Z80 compliant)

frequency : 2.476 MHz

main memory : 4 KByte

max. memeory : 64 KByte

ROM size : 16 KByte

drive : 3 8" FDD with 250/500 KByte capacity

graphic : 80x24 character, no graphic mode

OS : SCP (CP/M Clone), SIOS or UDOS

The three drives were used for OS (C:), application (Fortran, Pascal, Basic or Cobol) (D:) and data (E:).

My 'first contact' was a 3" thick manual and my first command was 'INIT C:'. The next thing I got was a new 8" disc (since I just formatted the OS disc) together with some 'nice words'...

So, whenever I make some stupid mistakes: Keep in mind that I'm 15 years behind 😀

No celebrations for me until we hit 20,000.

When The Thread has more posts than Steve, does that mean it gets to be the editor for the site?

Lynn, instead of him (her?), try she-he-it? 😛

I always prefered "(s)he/it". Works better when you pronounce it all as one word.

Well, I know that! I'm just asking if it gets to do things like validate articles and QotD submissions, and go skiing regularly.

Gibraltar strikes again. She really needs to learn some tact.

Lynn,

When I say a product comes with limitations I know the current internals of the product in comparison to another vendor's version.

Let me repeat again, the sentence below was what I was replying the OP being not current on SQL Server does not explain that sentence. I am stilling waiting for you to provide the needed technical implementation which you have not provided. So your attack is personal, please leave me alone.

I have been nothing but professional with you again don't call me names and please leave me alone.

I was thinking of SQL Server has more limitations than I had initially thought of.

Kind regards,
Gift Peddie
